Meal Plan Monday 5/27/2013

I'm baaaack with my Meal Plan Monday's. I took a short hiatus and quickly found that it just doesn’t work for me to not have a menu planned out.So, even if these don’t help you get through the weekday “What’s for Dinner?” crunch, these are for me too.

This week is filled with slow cooker meals.I’m currently studying for a major test for my work.So I need simplicity right now.I need to come home and have dinner completely ready so that I can get maximum study time in my evenings.It’s the least I can do for my family, as I will be non-existent in their eyes, until my test date.**All meals this week, will also be paired with a nice garden salad

Monday:Memorial Day BBQ at a friend’s house.I am bringing this side dish.It’s a hit with my hubby and kids. Crab and Pea Salad

I know it's, only been nearly a month, since our camping trip but I still have to tell you all about it, because it was wonderful!!

It's so hard coordinating weekends and family fun-days when you have 2 kids working. Luckily those two kids, actually work for the same company. They were both able to get the weekend off and we were finally able to go CAMPING and DIRT BIKE RIDING!!!
You guys, this is something we haven't done in, what feels like, forever. Two years to be exact.
So we left Friday morning (kids didn't have school on Friday) and we headed over to our favorite part of Oregon. East. When we got there, we were shocked. There was nobody there. It was like that all weekend. I couldn't have been more thrilled. It was exactly what we needed as a family. Just us. Alone. Laughing. Playing. Goofing. Loving each other the way we know how, as a family.

Tension has been so high at our house lately. Please tell me other families ge…

Today marks 2 years.
Two years ago my Mother-In-Law left this earth and became our Angel Mama. Two years of my kids terribly missing their Nana. Two years of my Father-In-law being a widow
and two years from the day my husband lost one of THE most important women in his life…his mama...who really was, one of his best friends. To say that the last two years has been easy, would be a
lie. Because it hasn’t been. It has taken nearly a year for my husband to
get back into his groove. To get back to
living and loving life again. Her loss didn't just take the wind out of his sail, it sunk his boat.

Two days ago, one of our daughters was having the worst time missing her Nana, she asked if we could just stay home today; from school, from work, and be a family remembering our lovely Mother and Nana. To say that request didn't sucker punch me right in the gut and bring on all the feelings I had been bottling up and trying so hard to keep it together, it would be another lie. My …

Hey there everyone! Our family was blessed with a 3-day weekend. We NAILED IT! in the relaxation department, but yet, very productive at the same time. I hope all of you were able to enjoy an extra day and relax too. I almost missed getting this post up since I was thrown off my game for my schedule. I am hoping that I will get my computer back up and running this week, so I can update you on some progress that I've been making in the tween's bedroom. It's coming together quite nicely; plus I have another project I've snuck into the mix while working on Baby Girl's room.

Last week, when The Mister and I did our grocery shopping, I was blown away by our total bill. It was way over my weekly budget, and to be honest, I hadn't remembered my manufacture coupons, luckily I did remember my $10 off $50 spent. At any rate, when I look back at what we had bought, we had snagged some really good deals; some buy one get one free, along with some meats that were …
